Artist Statement

The emotional tone embodies the struggle between defiance, characterized by bright and saturated colors like acid green and honey gold, and submission, represented by muted hues like deep olive and cream. The chosen palette emphasizes contrast, creating a visual argument in a diagonal wedge formation. The collision occurs at the center, where the defiance colors invade the subdued submission side, forming an inward spiral that visually narrates a confrontation between chaos and containment. The broken pixel effect adds intentional imperfections, enhancing the feeling of tension and unpredictability, reinforcing the themes of invasion and interaction.
